Solar in Swindon
Swindon is fitting solar panels to council homes as it upgrades them.
In March 2026 Swindon Borough Council reported progress on a £48m programme to help council tenants cut their energy bills. A £7.5m roofing contract has put new roofs and insulation on 240 homes so far, 30 of them with solar panels, and a £6m scheme in Park South, part funded by £1.4m from the Government’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, has given 114 homes solar panels, new windows and doors and external wall insulation. A further £882,000 of Government funding will upgrade 104 homes in Stratton and Highworth, and a pilot retrofit is being commissioned in the Railway Village. Councillor Janine Howarth, Cabinet Member for Housing, said: “Where feasible, we are installing solar panels on some properties so tenants benefit from renewable energy and reduced exposure to fluctuating energy prices.”
What the council is now doing for its tenants, plenty of Swindon homeowners did a decade or more ago: private roofs from Rodbourne to West Swindon went solar in the feed-in tariff years. Those arrays are now old enough for inverters to start failing, often without anyone noticing. A service shows whether yours is still pulling its weight, and inverter repair gets a stopped system generating again.

What you get from L&R in Swindon.
We know Swindon roofs
Swindon grew in waves, and each wave left a different roof. The Railway Village is stone-built Victorian cottages inside a conservation area; Rodbourne and Gorse Hill are brick terraces with chimneys, valleys and narrow slopes to work around; Penhill, Walcot and the Parks are post-war estates with simple pitched roofs that usually take panels well; West Swindon’s 1970s and 1980s estates change orientation street by street; and the northern estates from Abbey Meads to Tadpole are newer homes, some built with panels already on the roof. In Old Town, Highworth and Wroughton, conservation areas mean checking before anything goes up, and villages on the edge of the Marlborough Downs take the wind.

Not answered here? Call 0800 156 0191, Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm.
Do you cover West Swindon, Stratton, Wroughton and Highworth?
Yes. Our engineers cover the whole of Swindon — Old Town, the Railway Village, Rodbourne and Gorse Hill, Stratton St Margaret, Covingham and the Parks, West Swindon, and the northern estates out to Abbey Meads, Haydon Wick and Tadpole — plus Wroughton, Chiseldon, Highworth and Royal Wootton Bassett. Call 0800 156 0191 or tell us your postcode in the fault finder and we’ll confirm cover.
Will you repair a system in Swindon that another company installed?
Yes. We repair and service systems fitted by any installer, including installers who are no longer trading, and we work on any make of panel, inverter or battery. See solar panel repair and inverter repair.
Can I have solar panels on a house in the Railway Village or Old Town?
Often, yes, but it depends on the roof and whether the building is listed. The Railway Village and Old Town are conservation areas, where panels on a roof slope that faces the street can need planning permission, and a listed building needs listed building consent. We check this before the survey and tell you where you stand, and every install is by our own MCS certified engineers. See solar panel installations.
